Abstraction: Nvidia-Hippocratic AI partnership deploys generative AI nurses at $9/hr

Key points:

Hippocratic AI offers generative AI nurse agents for $9/hr vs. ~$90/hr for human nurses; Nvidia announced collaboration at 2024 GTC Conference
AI nurses conduct real-time video calls with patients on topics ranging from colonoscopy screening to breast cancer care; report back to human doctors
Hippocratic claims AI nurses outperform human nurses on bedside manner and education per internal survey; not authorized to make diagnoses
Technology tested by 40+ healthcare providers; Hippocratic cites LLMs as "the only scalable way" to close healthcare supply-demand gap
Context: 32,000+ nurses went on strike in 2023 (25% of all major US strikes) amid pre-pandemic staffing shortages
Nvidia also unveiled Blackwell AI chips at the same GTC event and expanded Google Cloud partnership
